Deceived

Goldie Hawn swaps comedy for crime as a widow who discovers disturbing evidence about her late husband's true identity after he dies in a car crash. It appears he was leading some sort of double life...and director Damian Harris milks the mystery for all its worth. Hawn is fine as the deceived widow and John Heard impresses as her devious hubbie.

As the title implies, this Goldie Hawn vehicle finds the bubbly blonde in dramatic vein.

A well-made thriller with an iffy script, especially towards the end when it often contributes the wrong line at the wrong moment, it casts Goldie as a businesswoman who becomes involved through a quirk of fate with Jack (John Heard) whom she marries.

Six years into the marriage, little unexplained events, like her husband being seen in New York when he said he was going to Boston, cast doubts in her mind. Decieved

After an old museum curator is murdered, and Jack killed in a car crash, it becomes apparent to Goldie that her husband was leading some kind of double life.

A devious criminal, perhaps, but, thanks to that script, a very careless one, leaving incriminating evidence around all over the place.

When it comes to keeping the suspense hopping, though, closing mysteriously in on people and objects and frightening the audience almost as much as Goldie, director Damian Harris proves himself an expert.

Hawn and Heard are good when the script allows them to be, but it's the scenes without dialogue where this film is at its considerable best.
